Supporting the Future of AI with Power: Jinko Solar Advocates Long-term Stable Power Generation via Next-Gen N-type Technology

## Power Supports the Future of AI

Generative AI, semiconductors, and data centers. Behind the rapidly expanding AI industry worldwide, the surge in electricity demand is emerging as a new focus of attention.

According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global data center electricity consumption is projected to double by 2030. Particularly with the spread of generative AI, the demand for AI-related servers and data center power is increasing rapidly, which is expected to bring significant changes to global power infrastructure over the coming years.

Investment in semiconductor and AI-related industries is also accelerating rapidly in Japan. TSMC's semiconductor plant has commenced operations in Kumamoto, and a next-generation semiconductor project by Rapidus is underway in Hokkaido. Additionally, data center construction in Japan is accelerating; according to the Japan Data Center Council (JDCC), the domestic data center market is expected to grow to 5 trillion yen by 2030.

Meanwhile, Japan is a market with high electricity costs where improving the share of renewable energy is required. Furthermore, due to Japan's unique market environment—characterized by frequent rain and cloudy weather, limited land, and demand for decentralized power generation—'long-term stable power generation,' rather than a simple race for high output, has become a key theme in the next-generation solar market.

Against this backdrop, attention is growing on next-generation N-type technology, which can achieve both high efficiency and long-term stable power generation.

Jinko Solar maintains high competitiveness in the Japanese market, supported by long-term investment in N-type technology and a global mass production system. As of the first quarter of 2026, Jinko Solar's cumulative N-type shipments have exceeded 220 GW, leading the industry in both large-scale production and long-term empirical data.

In particular, the Tiger Neo series boasts strengths not only in high conversion efficiency but also in excellent power generation performance in low-light conditions, high bifacial rates, and long-term stability. In a market like Japan, which has many cloudy days and frequent low-light conditions in the morning and evening, 'how long one can generate power stably throughout the day' becomes important.

In a demonstration test conducted in Kagoshima, the system achieved earlier power generation start times, later end times, and stable output even during cloudy weather under low-light conditions. Furthermore, for the Japanese market, Jinko Solar offers localized products adapted to Japan-specific roofs, climate, and installation conditions, such as anti-glare, low-reflection, lightweight, and low-current features.

Moreover, Jinko Solar's TOPCon technology, due to its high bifacial rate and superior temperature characteristics, makes it easy to maintain stable power generation performance throughout the year. It is attracting high attention from the market from the perspective of the 'stable, long-term power supply' required in the AI era.

What is needed in the AI era is not just computational power. What supports that future is a stable and sustainable power infrastructure.

With the growth of the next-generation society, the value demanded of solar power is beginning to shift from 'high output' to 'long-term stable power generation.'
